Dr. Love Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Nice one Ron! Hoping for the 8.0, but not shocked I would imagine. I do wonder how you valued it though. I'd be way nervous till I got it back! I'm also wondering if this means you're going to market in 2024? This grade hasn't moved publicly, it would be quite the thing.

I’ll be OK I wipe my tears with the deed to my house, car titles, Fidelity statement, Calvin and Hobbes/ Peanuts/ Disney art. Things had to go to bring more things since that’s the truce I made with my wife. Even still, I guess I love the hunt more than the hold.

Popular Post PassDaMike Posted November 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2023 Amazing stuff gentlemen. Always great to see what patience and timing allows someone to obtain. I agree Rick the hunt is fun! Sometimes sacrifices must be made for the real grails. Also owning homes is always a great investment and keeping the wife happy is advised 😆 ! I saw someone share their Nugget so here is my copy. Baker and nude woman is the perfect match! Yorick, LadyDeath, Kevin.J and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget it takes a while to build an amazing collection and the people you meet along the way is priceless. This community is awesome and I always enjoy seeing what else is out there.

The passion is strong. Very well stated. I'm content with the Bakers I've accumulated in such a short span, especially lucking out on several with good prices. But seeing the impressive collections of everyone else confirms that the hunger for more is real. Problem is, even if you have the money it doesn't make these books appear. Some are just plain hard to come by with collectors not wanting to part ways. Cinderella Love 26 & Diary Secrets 28 are on the top of my Baker want list right now, or a nice graded copy of Canteen Kate 1.

Popular Post Point Five Posted November 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2023 I know Texans are bottom-of-the-barrel in terms of collector interest, but this is a lovely cover. Dynamic composition by Baker and some really lush detailed coloring. Sqeggs, Chief1332, MusterMark and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
